New to the area here in Wisconsin.  Last summer left Seattle - light polluted, traffic, taxes, crowded  and -yes- it does rain most of the time!
Built my 3rd observatory here under darker Milky  Way visible skies.  I had a roll off roof which became a dome, then later another dome at the next house, finally a NexDome here in Wisconsin.

Meade LX200 12" Classic
Orion 80ED Apo  (rides on the Meade)
Starshoot autoguider (someday I'll master this and have really round stars!)
Canon 60Da DLSR for imaging
Nexdome - with rotator and shutter motors
All controllable from inside the house through WiFi

I'll share my photos when I'm somewhat satisfied with them! 
Clear skies!
Tom
